Jon, omnis beat you to the punch. thank you very much for offering.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Goddamned indecent. And water-resistant to boot.

...I don't get it, ita. What's indecent about that? (it being a link from ita, I was expecting something...raunchy. And when it was a flash drive, I was like..."OK, am I missing something? Is this a...vibrating flash drive? A...taser flash drive?")

32 gigabyte flash drive for a hundred dollars. That's pretty jaw-dropping.

It's a phenomenal amount of storage for the price, and for the size. I mean--that just goes in your pocket. How long ago was it that they were shipping laptops with that size hard drives? Not long enough.

Heh. OK, everybody. Safe to click on that ita link there!

Isn't this the point at which I talk about 256K machines and walking to school in the snow uphill both ways?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
256? Such a luxury!

Yeah, remember boggling at the 512k Macs. 512K!!!!!! Who could ever need that much computing??????
Yeah, I remember cassette drives, and even punch cards (though I never had to read or program with a punch card).
30 baud modems. 5" floppy drives. 8" floppy drives. Hard drives with plates the size of Miami. Commodore PETs. TRS-80s.
Hell, I remember being astounded by 16 colors.
